HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS.
The Condition OF Some of Our Alleys an
Lanes.

Lanes.
! The Council Committee on Street:
yesterday began their semi-annual tour
| The object of the tour is to inspect the
various streets and alleys which it Is pro.
posed to improve during the ensuing
year.
The committee set out yesterday morn.
ing about 10 o'clock in one of Carriers
transfer omnibuses. They were accom-
panied by City-Engineer Cutshaw and
Mr.. S. B. Jacobs, clerk of the committee
The day was spent in reviewing the
streets and alleys of the West End.
The tour will be resumed again to-mor-
row or Saturday, the business of the
committee not allowing them to be abb
sent more than day at the time.
The Street Committee on its annual
tour could not reasonably be expected to
visit all the bad places in the city. They
no doubt took in some of the best ones,
and as it was wet day, no one will
blame them for so doing
1t is very safe to say that they did not
inspect any of the alleys in Sidney and
on Oregon hill. If they did, they were
enabled to sing in chorus Now Here's
Pretty Mess. Most OF these alleys are
in bad condition, in fact so much Offal is
there deposited that the condition of
many of them is awful indeed.
Richmond has Committee on Health
and Board of Health, and as there is at
times a conflict of authority as to whose
duty it is to look after certain matters,
compromise is made by no one attending
to it.
In the sections alluded to the visits of the
garbage carts are few and far between.
AT the same time the sanitary police
should notify the people that they have a
duty to perform, and they should be re-
ported if they fail to perform it, All the
police and health officers in the city can
not keep these or any other alley clean if
the people persist in empyting all their
refuse matter in them instead of putting
i in barrels or boxes for the proper per-
sons to remove.

Putting in New CuIverts.

Assistant City Engineer Bolton has be-
gun the construction of two new culverts
from the corner Of Fifteenth and Main
streets TO the creek.
There are already four culverts be-
tween Fifteenth street and the creek, but
these are insufficient to carry off the inn
mense amount of water coming down
Main street in the event of heavy rain.
The new culverts will be of twelve inch
terra Gotta pipe, and will be laid under
the sidewalk on either side of the street,
as it is much easier and cheaper to tear
up and replace the bricks than the middle
of the street, which is of Belgian blocks

MERRY PURIM.
Observance of the Ancient and HalIowed
Festival.

Observance of the Ancient and HaIlowed
Festival.
The feast of Purim began last evening
at shutdown. Appropriate services were
held at the various synagogucs last eve
ming and this morning.
The festival derives its name from the
Hebrew word pur, signifying lot, and is
so-called from the fact that lots were cast
TO see upon what day the Jews should be
massacred at Hamans request The
choice fell upon the fourteenth day of
the month of Adar How the massacre
was prevented by the intercession of Nor
decai and Esther is familiar story, and
is related in full in the book of Esther.
This is read at both services held in hon
or of the day.
Among the Israelites it is day of great
Joy, and is celebrated by giving and
receiving presents, and especially in re-
membering the poor. All kinds of fes-
tivities are INDUCED in, the chief of which
consists in friends masquerading and Wis
iting one another. Before leaving masks
are removed and refreshments literally
partaken of.
The Jefferson Literary and Social Cir
Gle will give a grand dress ball at Saenger
Halle tonight in honor of the day.
Dancing will begin at o'clock sharp.

REAL ESTATE.
Sale of wei,-Known Property.


Messrs. Chewing & Rose yesterday
evening sold lot with frame building
thereon, on College street, to William
Ferguson for $3.50 The sale is consid-
cred good one The property was part
of the estate of the late Major John
Dooley, and near the house so long oc-
cupied by that lamented citizen as resi-
dence.
Mr.. II. Selden Taylor sold at 5 o'clock
the residence so long occupied by Mr..
John Enders, Jr. 1t was purchased by
Messrs. Burke e. Bradley, of Stanton,
for $10,75O This house was many years
ago occupied by Mr.. Roots, a German,
and one of the old-timeTs. Early in the
fifties Mr.. Enders bought it, and had it
added to and remodeled, and it is one
of the most convenient and comfortable
houses In the city.
That section of the city was once the
centre of the fashionable quarter OF
Richmond. Among those living as Mr..
Enders near neighbors were Messrs.
Potiaux Robinson, William Palmer, AL
fred T. Harris, and James Dunlop.
On the south side of Main, and towards
Cary street, resided Mr.. John c. Hobson,
the Allans, Clarkes, SCOTS, Mr.. John Free
land, Mr. William Barrett, Hon. John Y.
Mason, and others equally well known.
Towards West End the star of Rich
mond's empire seems to have wendell
its way, and no lapse of years can ever
efface the bitter-sweet memories that
cluster around the vicinity of Main and
Fifth streets.

NEW YORK. March 9-The announcen ent
Of the deal between the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Corbin-Sully interest was the alb
sof bling topic in business circles this morn
ing, and the general idea was that prices
would be considerably better, but the out
come has been disappointing and the almost
total absence of public interest has been
| further demonstrated in the marked manner;
and until We see some evidence of ito perma-
nent revival We cannot expect any genuine
advance, though manipulation may now and
then rally prices, at the same time we are
not to be construed as being bearish as we
believe that the general conditions Of trade
are very satisfactory and that the railroads
are doing well, but as we have maintained
for some time, in order to have really bull
market, the one thing needful i, q spscu-
lating public, and that being wanting, all
manipulation goes for nothing We will
eventually have higher prices. but the wait
ing may be somewhat tedious. The closia.
was barely steady. Money, 5per cent.

and justice be tempered with moderation. A
wise arbitration looks to a long result rather
than to immediate satisfaction, and accom-
plishes more than intimidations ever can
hope to do. Our first father earned his bread
by the sweat of his brow, and from that an
Gent time to this enlightened age there has
been discovered no honest way other than
this. tits not my intention to impose upon
this convention any dogma upon the drink
question. But l cannot refrain in honesty
to my own convictions from deploring the
sad havoc that intemperance is making in
the ranks of our fellow men,. So great is this
to improve their fellows can
help taking it into account.
1t is. indeed, an important factor
for evil in our midst. Not only from the
physical and moral standpoint is it working
mischief, but from the standpoint OF labor.
The man who has SO little self-control that
he cannot resist the temptation to degrade
himself is always in danger of bringing dis
grace upon his brethren. He has lost his
self-reSpect. and, to some extent, his indie
Pendence. thus making an easier victim to
the greed of selfish employer. L would,
therefore, urge upon you the necessity of alb
staining from everything that will in the
siishtest degree impair your usefulness as cit
neers BE frugal and industrious,
practice economy, save your earnings,
make the best use you possibly
can of your time and talents.
WISH W puDllCly lnulk the various Ill
visions for their many acts of courtesy, and
extend the same to my associates in office,
who labor diligently to aid me at all times in
the various departments of our official bust
ness congratulate you upon the success of
the past year, and would admonish You to be
ever on the alert for the best interests of the
cause which you have espoused."
After to-day the meetings will be in
secret, and the rest of the time will be
devoted to a general and free discussion
of all questions pertaining to the inter-
eStS and welfare of the order.
